MUSEO PICASSO MÁLAGA https://www.museopicassomalaga.org/en By periodically refreshing, and thus revising, its permanent collection, Museo Picasso Málaga is in a way following in the footsteps of Picasso himself, who innovated constantly with his art throughout his life. With its thematic and chronological layout, this new exhibition narrative in the Palacio de Buenavista will enable visitors to acquire a deeper knowledge of Pablo Picasso’s artistic career by grouping his works together in a way that helps them to understand his artistic processes. This is the sixth transformation of the exhibition rooms of the Palacio de Buenavista since the museum first opened in 2003, thanks to the negotiations that took place to ratify the agreement between the Consejería de Cultura y Patrimonio de la Junta de Andalucía and Fundación Almine y Bernard Ruiz-Picasso para el Arte (FABA), which has been renewed for three more years, during which time a total of 162 works by Picasso will be added to the 233 works MPM holds in its own collection. The new layout of the exhibition rooms owes its unique features to an innovative scenographic layout in the museum spaces. There are 44 paintings, 49 drawings, 40 graphic works, 10 sculptures, 17 ceramics, 1 tapestry and 1 linocut plate. With the 233 works belonging to Museo Picasso Málaga and these 162 from Fundación Almine y Bernard Ruiz-Picasso para el Arte (FABA), the collection will hold almost four hundred works by Pablo Picasso, dating from between 1894 and 1972, of which 120 will be on display in the Palacio de Buenavista. These works build a story that begins with Picasso’s formative years and continues through the most representative periods of the artist’s career. |

Ben Vautier L'art est un virus Fondation Linda et Guy Pieters Saint Tropez
L'ART EST UN VIRUS - Exposition Ben Vautier du 4 juin - 11 octobre 2020 Fondation Linda et Guy Pieters Ben, de son vrai nom Benjamin Vautier, est un artiste français d’origine suisse, né le 18 juillet 1935, à Naples (Italie), de mère irlandaise et occitane, et de père suisse francophone. Il est le petit-fils de Marc Louis Benjamin Vautier, peintre suisse du XIXe siècle. Il vit ses cinq premières années à Naples. Après la déclaration de guerre, en 1939, Ben et sa mère vont multiplier les voyages : Suisse, Turquie, Égypte, Italie…, pour enfin s’installer à Nice en 1949. Il étudie à l’école du Parc-Impérial et à la pension du collège Stanislas. Sa mère lui trouve un travail à la librairie Le Nain bleu en tant que garçon de course, puis lui achète une librairie-papeterie. À la fin des années 1950, il la vend pour ouvrir une petite boutique, dont il transforme la façade en accumulant quantité d’objets et dans laquelle il vend des disques d’occasion. Rapidement, sa boutique devient un lieu de rencontres et d’expositions où se retrouvent les principaux membres de ce qui deviendra l’école de Nice : César, Arman, Martial Raysse, etc. Proche d’Yves Klein et séduit par le Nouveau Réalisme, il est convaincu que « l’art doit être nouveau et apporter un choc ». |
Kandinsky Museo Guggenheim Bilbao
Kandinsky Museo Guggenheim Bilbao As a pioneer of abstraction and a renowned aesthetic theorist, Vasily Kandinsky (b. 1866, Moscow; d. 1944, Neuilly-sur-Seine, France) is among the foremost artistic innovators of the early twentieth century. He endeavored to free painting from its ties to the natural world, and in so doing he discovered a new subject matter based solely on the artist’s “inner necessity” that would occupy him throughout his life. Drawn primarily from the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation’s rich holdings, this comprehensive exhibition of paintings and works on paper traces Kandinsky’s aesthetic evolution and spans his entire oeuvre. After settling in Bavaria in 1908, Kandinsky helped found the Munich-based group Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider), a loose association of artists united around a common interest in the expressive potential of color and the symbolic—often spiritual—resonance of forms. Following a period of great productivity, Kandinsky was forced to leave Germany with the outbreak of World War I and ultimately returned to his native Moscow. There, his pictorial vocabulary began to reflect the utopian experiments of the Russian avant-garde, including emphasizing geometric shapes in an effort to establish a universal aesthetic language. After the war, Kandinsky began teaching at the Bauhaus, a German school of art and applied design that shared his belief in art’s ability to transform self and society. Kandinsky was nonetheless forced to abandon Germany a second time when the Bauhaus was closed under pressure from the Nazis in 1933. He and his wife, Nina, settled in a suburb of Paris, where Kandinsky increasingly experimented with materials, creating imaginative works in which he combined sand with pigment. His compositions from this last chapter resemble miniscule worlds of living organisms, clearly informed by his contact with Surrealism, and an interest in natural sciences, particularly botany, embryology, and zoology. |
